  1. Are the storms coming close to North Arlington and Alexandria? We just got our electricity back and I'm sick of the thought of loosing it again (too many times this summer Dominion Virginia Electric).
  2. 2.63" here in Alexandria. No, no tornado that was a fluke listing (strange). Thanks.
  3. Local and trustworthy retired Met in Alexandria saying tornado alert now. Any one seeing this?
  4. Electricity went out in storm here in northern AVA around 3:30 pm. I had to find Dominion Virginia outage number so called around 3:50 pm to notify of our address. I looked on my iPhone at their site, they said 50,000 out in NOVA. My city had about 5000 out. It was a whopping thunder and lightening storm here. We had a generator on and back up sump batteries but still I am always anxious when electricity will return. Well it did at like 5:10 pm. Very thankful to Dominion Virginia crew. It doesn't look to bad outside wrt thunderclouds right now.
  5. What does this mean, Eskimo Joe? The risk if lessoning? I'm very concerned about these storms, and also very un-knowledgable.
  6. Was that the infamous 6"hour storm? Gosh how time flies: I remember it well.
  7. That seemed greater rate than 1inch/hour here in Alexandria to me.More like 2inch plus for brief period of time. Where's Yoda?
  8. Two years ago this June, we had a huge unstable storm. I still remember yelling out to my kids and their friends to "come in now" and they poured in. Before I knew it, our downstairs was filled up with high schoolers and early college students. I want to leave you with one pertinent fact: after the deluge, while they were getting restless to leave and I said please not yet, there was a horrific lightning flash and boom that took down a tree next door. Always, always wait and check your local radar and weather people before dismissing. I am thankful to this day I stood my ground and when they heard that boom, the rooms went silent and they learned too. Kids!! I love em.
  9. 54 in NOVA and spitting rain. Should be an interesting weather day.
  10. What does this mean specifcally for the I 95 corridor from Baltimore to Northern Virginia? I need to let my spouse know and now!
  11. Wow, Thank you very much for this detailed Sterling radar. Sure does look like Baltimore DC will be hit.
  12. Hello. Any particular updates on severe weather for Baltimore to Washington DC corridor? Got family traveling today. Tyvm. WLD.
  13. Heavy rain not much wind. White out from front and back windows. Glad no wind.
  14. We always lose power when these kind of storms occur. Maximum days without power was 10, when we had toddlers.
  15. You are closest to me and have weather knowledge more than I. Please update as needed. I'm also concerned with Baltimore City where a kid lives. Tyvm for your help.
  16. You are in my area. However I have no current thermometer or Dew Point reader! Hahal You'd think I would. Therefore I've always appreciated your current input! So thank you!
  17. Wonderfully huge flakes of snow here in Alexandria City! Prettiest day so far of the year.
  18. Welcome! Glad you signed up. Currently no flakes. Patience is a virtue.
  19. I'm in Alexandria City. A couple of hours ago I saw a flake or two but nothing since. Weird.
  20. Wonderful gardens psuhoffman! Thanks so much for details on keeping animals out, as well as photos and congratulations to you and your wife on you new family member.
  21. Give us a tip how you keep the wild life from eating/destroying your wonderful veggie/fruit garden. Here in Alexandria VA we can't seem to grow anything as it all gets eaten while growing ( a bite here and there). We have the usual suspects: fox, deer, squirrels, chipmunks, birds. Is your garden enclosed and gated or what? Yes, no sense to waste water on an event that happens every summer. I gave up long ago except to keep trees and flowers alive.
